You cannot lead a normal life in the town,
agonizing endeavors are pushed forth upon you.
Your town is indulged with diverse feelings and emotions,
with great famine and hardship flooding the streets.
Pain, suffering, and segregation look down upon the unfortunate,
never before has any place seen so many troubles. Discriminative actions spread like an airborne disease,
daily struggle is essential for any to survive the plague.
Your town does not seek friendship toward you,
it feeds on the blood of those in poverty.
Impenetrable hate gives way to a new era,
ideas of peace and equality are discarded.
The depression has found you... ~By Joe I.~

Town Poem Despair is a word in this little town,
If you don’t believe me you will be goin' down.
there was sad faces,
in many places,
hard times in the fields,
sometimes without any meals,
walking all day in the stifling heat,
so tired they could fall asleep,
but in the back of their minds they knew that they would be beat.
